The stage has been set for the first-ever NFL Pro Bowl fantasy draft now that the men named to the 2014 Pro Bowl have been revealed.

NFL legends Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders will serve as alumni team captains and make the final decisions on the rosters, although they will have help from current-player captains and an NFL.com fantasy champion.

The two-day affair, capped off by a live, three-hour broadcast on the NFL Network at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2014 is sure to reinvigorate what has become a stagnant part of the NFL season as of late.

The NFL has stretched the draft process out as long as possible in order to help recreate the excitement of the rookie draft.

Tuesday, Jan. 21 sees 11 players drafted to each team—but only the "non-sexy" positions are invited—guards, centers, fullbacks, interior defensive linemen, punters and members of the special teams.

The exciting positions are left for the big actual broadcast, where Tuesday's drafted players will walk a red carpet before the rest of the teams are selected by captains, headed by Rice and Sanders.

The aptly named Team Rice and Team Sanders will be led by legends of the same names, who have the final say in all decisions.

But they are not alone. Four active-player captains will also partake in the activities. The two top vote-getters on offense and defense will get the nod, provided their teams do not participate in the Conference Championships.

Two fantasy champions will also be selected and get to participate in the inaugural edition of the draft.

What to Expect

Both teams are led by contrasting legends for good reason, and not just for their impressive trash talk as the NFL Network captured:

While the Pro Bowl has been known for its restrictive rules toward the defense for safety purposes, Sanders should have no issue crafting a squad that can overcome the rules and keep this one close.

Sanders surely has an eye for defensive backs, a position that will ultimately decide the game. The legend has plenty of options to choose from, including Arizona Cardinals star Patrick Peterson, who wants Sanders to know he should be the No. 1 pick thanks to his versatility:

The passing attack is the name of the game in the Pro Bowl. So any time an A.J. Green can combine with a Calvin Johnson, not to mention a dash of Josh Gordon on the side, the scoreboard is sure to light up.

But do not forget tight ends, either. Jimmy Graham of the New Orleans Saints leads the way and will surely be on Rice's radar:

Honored and Thankful to be named to the Probowl.Thx to all who took time and esp the who dat nation.blessed with a great City and teammates!
